Abstract
Abstract Diphenyl ethers of the formula ##STR1##wherein R 1 is hydrogen or halogen, R 2 is hydrogen, halogen, or cyano, R is ##STR2## wherein R 3 is hydrogen, halogen, nitro, alkyl, or alkoxy, R 4 is a divalent alkylene radical, and R 5 is cyano or -COR 6 , wherein R 6 is alkoxy, hydroxy or salt thereof, allyloxy, alkoxyalkoxy, amino, alkyl or dialkyl amino, aminoalkoxy, or alkyl or dialkylaminoalkoxy, And diphenyl sulfides, sulfoxides, and sulfones of the formula ##STR3## wherein R 8 is hydrogen, halogen, cyano, nitro, alkyl, alkoxy, or trifluoromethyl, R 2 is hydrogen, halogen or cyano, X is sulfur, sulfinyl, or sulfonyl, and R is as defined above, And compositions containing these compounds exhibit herbicidal activity.
